Based on the results of the analysis, the Author developed a new method of measurement of impact energy by means of force converter with an embedded elastic element, Taking into consideration the structural scheme and the principle of measurement, one derived analytical relationship that make it possible to calibrate the measuring system in energy units. A practical example of application of the developed system was in measurements of impact energy of hydraulic hammers used in Polish copper mining industry.}, type={Article}, title={Experimental determination of impact energy of hydraulic hammers}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/125348/PDF-MASTER/4_MECHANICAL_47_2000_1_Krauze_Experimental.pdf}, keywords={hydraulic hammer, impact energy}, }
